A Plutonian Landscape
New Horizons captured this image of Pluto's landscape about 15 minutes after its closest approach in 2015. The scene shows Norgay Montes in the foreground and Hillary Montes along the horizon. These rugged mountains give way to the smooth Sputnik Planum on the right. The low-angle view creates a dramatic, twilight-like effect.
